churchill wisely took u.s. ambassador avril herriman with him to show the allies were united in this important strategic decision. after a full day of meetings, stalin invited churchill to the kremlin for a good-bye dinner, and what a dinner that was. just the two men and their interpreters serving themselves, no servants, in the kremlin. a full banquet, enough for 30 people, topped off -- pardon the pun -- with a pig's head. stalin opened his penknife, cleaned out the head, scraped out a piece of meat which he then offered to churchill on the end of his knife. churchill politely refused, not able to show his disgust to his new ally but commenting later to his doctor that the food was fillny. filthy. that's a quote. no matter, churchill got what he wanted, stalin agreed to the allied strategy. let me spend a few minutes on what i mean when i say that churchill's attention to detail was stunning. he designed the table at his country home chartwell. it was to be round and six feet in diameter. he told his wife to

the fact that the u.s. army and marine corps and other modern militaries including the french have to deal with the threat today is absolutely unsurprising. but i don't mean to suggest that absolutely nothing has changed over the course of the last 5,000 years. there have, in fact, been some significant changes. the biggest one has to do with the power of public opinion and propaganda. and this was something that was demonstrated in our very own war of independence. now, when we think of the american war of independence, we tend of think of battles like lexington and concord where the yankees slithered on their bellies and shot at the redcoats from behind trees and rocks in ways that the redcoats assumed to be ungentlemanly. now, these were, no doubt, effective tactics. but in the end what's striking to me about studying the american revolution is the extent to which it was decided not so much by what happened on the battlefield, but what actually happened in the house of parliament, in the commons in engla
